Personal:

I started running at age 40 (14 years ago!)  I am married to Harold, he is a super supportive husband and we enjoy running and biking the trails along the Wasatch Front together. Between us we have 7 children and 9 grandchildren.  I am really having fun trying new races in scenic parts of Utah, I am a newbie in the ultrarunning world, I am slow, but love everything about it!  I have a lot to learn,but I am enjoying the journey.

HELLO FRIEND!!!

HI KELLI!!! So...... Are you interested more in ultras or marathons? What is next on your race calendar? I have the PC half next week. I hope all is well!

From Kelli on Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 21:01:51 from 71.219.67.82

I like ultras, but easier ones without a ton of steep downhill!!!

I just have TOU half and the St George. I am thinking I will probably do Goblin Valley again this year. My kids LOVED it!

I am glad you are going to do more ultras! I want to do more, but haven't done enough running. Is Scott still going to do the Pony Express? Maybe I will see you at the st. George expo!

From Kelli on Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 23:56:57 from 71.219.67.82

YUP, he is going to do the 50. I still need to get him signed up!

I am also pretty sure I will do Red Mountain again next year, loved that one! It is the same weekend as the Salt Lake marathon next year and that is a real bummer because I already signed scott up. We had such a fun time making it a family Easter vacation. Stupid Salt Lake for changing their weekend. So, now it will be a girls weekend with Wendy and I. You can join us!

YES, hopefully we will see you somewhere in St George.

Oh good, I hope you guys do Red Mountain! PARTY!

It will be fun to see how Scott likes PE. I would like to do it again, but not sure I ever will.

I will look for you in St George!!! I hope I can lose a few pounds, I am soooo stuck, very frustrating, at my highest. BLAH!

I was stuck for a bit and have just barely gotten things moving down again. Life stinks in the weight category, I am sure it always will! But, you are one of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out, so you do not need to worry about it!

You are so nice, thank you!!!
